Hi Jason, thanks. Before I enter a bug report, I have noticed an
error message on the console when starting syslogd, which is also
shown when starting syslogd with -d:
# syslogd -d
Allocated parts table for 1024 file descriptors.
Starting.
Called logerr, msg: network logging disabled (syslog/udp service
unknown).
logmsg: syslog.err<43>, flags 4, from hell, msg syslogd: network
logging disabled (syslog/udp service unknown).
Called fprintlog, logging to CONSOLE /dev/console
Called logerr, msg: see syslogd(8) for details of whether and how to
enable it.
logmsg: syslog.err<43>, flags 4, from hell, msg syslogd: see syslogd
(8) for details of whether and how to enable it.
Called fprintlog, logging to CONSOLE /dev/console
Debugging disabled, SIGUSR1 to turn on debugging.
The network logging message is still there even after I removed all
the remote logging stuff from syslog.conf. There is a syslog entry
in /etc/services, so I'm not sure what else could be causing that
error message.
